Within about a month, I wound up acquiring an actual friend named Pam and we are still good friends years later. This was extremely weird and cool for me. I sometimes refer to her by saying something like, "Tonight I'm going to the movies with my imaginary friend Pam." |
I love this story! It is, as you say, REALLY weird and REALLY cool.
